It is a great show. Here is an interview with Charlie Waterstreet, who is one of the creators of the show.

"Charlie Waterstreet is one of Sydney's best known and most colourful barristers, and has recently had an ABC television series developed loosely on his life.
Charlie Waterstreet is a much-loved figure in his home town. He loves the idea that law requires that everyone deserves a proper defence and he works long hours, sometimes for no money, to give it to his clients.
Charles is also a film producer, writer and his recollections about growing up in a pub in Albury have been turned into two best-selling books.
Charlie reveals that he battled depression and alcoholism for many years and suffered a nervous breakdown in 1996 after being sued over a property dispute by his former partner, actor Kate Fitzpatrick.
After recovering, he used his legal skills to investigate the death of his mother in 1967, an event that scarred him. He discovered that she had died of chloral hydrate poisoning after being prescribed 10 times the recommended dose.
Now the actor and director Richard Roxburgh has developed a television series based loosely on Charles Waterstreet's life."
He also has a column in the Sun Herald. -
I love the show but spent the first episode wondering when the hell Roger Rogerson became a S.C.Comment
